Event lighting is an essential aspect of any wedding. Lighting not only sets the mood and ambiance of the event but also serves a functional purpose in illuminating the space. A well-designed lighting plan can create a magical atmosphere and transform a wedding venue into a dreamy and romantic space. In this blog post, we will discuss how event lighting can be used in a wedding to create a memorable experience for the couple and their guests.

Gobos are used with ellipsoidal or spot theatrical fixtures to create lighting scenes on stage. Simple gobos, incorporated into automated lighting systems, are also popular especially at nightclubs and other musical venues to create moving shapes.
